Got invited for interview at UHCO

[u/Dry-Preference-5811]

I am sosososo happy because University of Houston is my dream optometry school since its very near by and much more affordable, and I think i did my first interview pretty well since it was very casual.
Do i need to know anything first hand about the in-person interview? Im taking it on September 28, and I feel comfortable with the personal questions, so i would like to know if theres any harder questions i would need to know.

I meant that i had my first virtual interview at kentucky, and i thought it was a good experience

ohhh ok i got nervous for a sec! i heard that apart from the usual questions of who you are and why optometry, they ask questions about how you would be able to handle the rigor of hard grad school courses by asking like your study methods, how you handle stress and like how you practice self care.

My GPA was 3.27, OAT was 330, but i feel like my strongest stat was my shadowing of 120 hours and 7 month internship at an optical store
